OUR OPINION: Rural post offices get welcome reprieve 
This one’s worth delivering overnight: Put an Express Mail stamp on the Postal Service’s latest plan, and drop it off at the nearest post office.
Which, it looks like, will be kept open after all, thanks to the promising new plan.

MARILYN HAGERTY: A week to drink water and sing in shower
Since last I wrote you, I have been out and about. I have been up to Karlstad, Minn., to check out their beautiful new Nordhem restaurant. And I have been to St. Thomas, N.D., to have tea in the historic Garnett House.
These people like to hear about my going viral in March. And for me, the best part of all my viral escapades is sharing the experiences with friends who read the Herald right here in this area. They are the people who matter the most to me.

ANN BAILEY: On the farm, ‘doctoring’ part of the job
One of my primary chores growing up was to check the cattle during the summer months when they were on pasture. It was a job I enjoyed because it involved horseback riding. However, it wasn’t a joy ride because the reason my sister and I checked the cows, calves and bulls was to make sure they were healthy. If we spotted one that looked like it wasn’t feeling well, we herded it up to the corral, where my dad and brother could take a look at it and treat it themselves or call the veterinarian if it was a more serious problem.

RALPH KINGSBURY: Keep an eye on housing starts in Grand Forks
Another month, another set of upbeat numbers. We could call the building permit report negative. The total dollar amount is only about 30 percent of the first four months of last year, and there is not one category that is better than last year.

DOUG LEIER: The best time is when you have time
“Best time to fish?” I’m the first to admit I’m not a professional angler. When it comes to tips and tactics on how to land a lunker walleye or fill a stringer in short order, I’ve got more questions than answers. At times, I casually refer to myself as the human cold front because of a perceived lack of fishing success whenever I’m around, and I have a few friends who even nod in agreement, instead of defending my fishing “expertise.”

MARILYN HAGERTY: UND team dedicates game to cancer fight
It’s “batter up” at noon this Saturday at Kraft Field. But first, all people battling cancer as well as cancer survivors will be recognized. Ashley Johnson of Grand Forks, founder of Copewell Foundation, will throw out the first pitch before game one of the doubleheader. The Copewell Foundation will have a table set up inside the stadium with coupons for a free hotdog and bag of chips. Both teams and the umpires will wear lavender wristbands during the game. The UND baseball team will wear lavender shirts during batting practice.

BRAD DOKKEN: Fifteen-year flood anniversary rekindles memories of new boat
A 16-foot Crestliner with a 40-horse Mercury, it’s not a big boat. I wouldn’t want to venture across Lake of the Woods with it or tackle Devils Lake in a big wind, but the old Crestliner has met my needs nicely in the past 15 years.

ANN BAILEY: Springing ahead, but not too much
A month ago, I thought I might break the record for earliest lawn mowing. The green lawn was showing signs of bolting and I figured it would only be a matter of time before I was back on the seat of the mower. But although there have been a few warm days this month, temperatures generally have been more seasonable and our grass has stayed pretty short.

OUR OPINION: The case against Measure 2
Two prosecutors cross-examine the measure, which would ‘radically change’ the North Dakota Constitution.In all of the commentary on Measure 2, the critiques by two state’s attorneys stand out. Maybe that’s because the prosecutors are used to dismantling testimony and making witnesses squirm on the stand. In any event, the cases are worth reviewing, especially because they’re just about unanswerable. So, if you want to learn more about a proposal whose supporters casually discuss the possible layoff of 12,000 public sector workers, read on.

MARILYN HAGERTY: Retailers, restaurants always looking for help
Retailers, restaurants always looking for helpDress casual, but neat. Update your resume. Learn to sell yourself. This was the advice for jobseekers who attended the Job Fair at the Alerus Center this past Tuesday. I wasn’t exactly looking for a job, but I went over to visit with people hunting and people hiring. I was thinking of how one often leads to the other.
